Ezekiel 10:16

God’s Glory Exits the Temple

15Then the cherubim rose upward. These were the living creatures I had seen by the River Kebar.16When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and even when they spread their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels did not veer away from their side.17When the cherubim stood still, the wheels also stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
